The Lady Davina Lewis (Davina Elizabeth Alice Benedikte Lewis; née Windsor; born 19 November 1977) is the elder daughter of Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess of Gloucester, and is currently 22nd in the line of succession to the British Throne.
She was born Lady Davina Windsor at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London. Lady Davina was educated at Kensington Preparatory School in Notting Hill, followed by St. George's School, Ascot in Ascot, Berkshire. She is a graduate of the University of the West of England with a degree in media studies.
On 31 July 2004, Lady Davina married Gary Christie Lewis, a New Zealander, son of Hore Lewis (Larry) and then-wife, Viki, plus nephew of noted author Witi Ihimaera. The wedding took place at the chapel of Kensington Palace, Lady Davina's childhood home. Her husband, Gary, was born on 25 August 1970, in Gisborne, New Zealand. He is the second of four children, with an older sister Donelle and two younger brothers, Ian and Hore. He is a carpenter, and surfing enthusiast, plus has a natural son, Ari Lewis (born 1992), from a previous relationship. He is the first person of Māori descent to marry into the British Royal Family.
The couple had known each other for four years, having met on vacation in Bali. Apart from the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, no other members of the Royal Family were present at the wedding.
Lady Davina's grandmother, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, was not present due to her age and infirmity, but was reportedly visited by the newly married couple shortly afterwards.
